John 14:1-11

1 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.

2 In my Father's house there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready a place for you.

3 And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.

4 And where I am going, you all know the way."

5 "Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"

6 "I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

7 If you--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."

8 "Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."

9 "Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can *you* ask me, `Cause us to see the Father'?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.

11 Believe me, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.
